the Y button

[deuce601]

I dont know what they could have done with it but having it as the hurdle is kind of a waste. for example it may just be me tho, when i use the Y button to jump/hurdle it is 99% not successful. but if i just run without pressing a button my player will hurdle people by himself. have not played a single game where this wasnt the case

yea it really is useless but then people would complain for some reason!
i think there is no reason because the CPU does it for you any ways!

I was actually fixing to post about the jump/hurdle button on offense and if anyone regularly used it or was successful with it outside of when its automatically done. I thought maybe it could be used to jump over low hit stick attempts but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Re: the Y button

yeah.....if only they had some crazy futuristic technology that would allow us to configure the buttons ourselves. Oh.....wait....they had that and it was awesome so some moron removed it.

Re: the Y button

Actually i like the hurdle button.

I find that if your opponent is big on the hitstick, they generally hitstick down because it feels better going down, with the same direction of the otherstick.
When people do hit stick down it doesn't take much timing to hurdle them.

What i think sucks about running in this game is that you can be running a full sprint then just change your direction and still maintaining full speed. Online i don't even use the truck stick, i just cross up my opponent by running a slant when i get to him, works for cpu and people. Works on me too... and it sucks

Re: the Y button

i agree about the change of direction thing especially with faster backs such as CJ, DMC, charles, bush ,and felix jones.

regarding the y button actually its pretty useful to hurdle over low hit sticks as others have stated. also it works well to get over defenders or blockers laying on the ground. my favorite way to use is when im coming to the corner of the endzone and i have ppl in front of me sorta like this without the flip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW0Vu...eature=related) i knw i could use the X button to dive and try and sneak the ball into the pylon but when u have ppl in front of you usually they will knock the ball out ur hands.

Re: the Y button

yeah i get it is useful for jumping low hitsticks but what im saying is when i press y to hurdle the low hit it never works. but if im just running and someone low hitsticks usaully about 90% of the time he breaks into an automatic animation and does a hurdle on his own.

ive only had my player hurdle over low hit sticks on hus own 1 or 2 times usually i have to do it myself wut difficulty r u playing on?

and u probably have the timing wrong which is y it wnt work for u when u try n hurdle ppl

Re: the Y button

does jumping affect hurdle height?

Like if i had a 99 jump dude that was 6'10, could he hurdle over a standing 5'4 player haha?

Re: the Y button

actually im pretty sure it does affect it cause i can never hurdle ppl with TEs usually i can only do it with real athletic players

Re: the Y button

I was souped when they put the hurdle button back into the game. I use it when the time calls for it. Like when I'm trying to break for a touchdown and the guy is catching up, I hurdle. If I'm running up the middle and there's a guy on the ground, I jump him. I know there is also animations of guys hurdling, but I also use this button when the time calls for it.

Hurdle when a guy it about to catch up?

Does that work?

Is hurdle the new swat? lol.(swat is secretly overpowered)

swat is overpowerd cause u can hold it and ur DB will jump at the perfect time imo u should have to time it right for it to work

and hurdle works when they r catching up to u cause they hit u mid air and u end up getting more yards and u can usually stretch out da ball into da end zone

agreed. i like how madden on last gen would punish you for pressing swat of pick too early by throwing your hands up in the air in a stupid animation. Sometimes it did it when you time things just right, but most of the time, a well timed swat/user pick would reward you with the correct aniamtion at the correct time... normally. In Madden 11 you jsut hold the butto nadn let the computer do the rest.
